Full video "What is the Evidence for Evolution?"    • What is the Evidence for Evolution?  

I'm often asked for the "proof" of evolution. The term 'proof' isn't usually used in science. It's more common in math and philosophy where a conclusion is demonstrated or "proved" via a string of deductive arguments. That said, in common language, people asking for scientific 'proof' of a claim are usually meaning to ask is "what's the evidence supporting the claim".

Evolution is one of the most well-supported concepts in science, backed by extensive evidence from multiple fields, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy.

1. Fossil Records: Show the historical lineage of organisms and transitional species.
2. Genetic Similarities: Demonstrate shared DNA sequences among diverse species, suggesting common ancestry.
3. Observable Changes: Documented instances of species evolving in response to environmental pressures.

These and many other branches of evidence all paint the same picture from very different starting points: Life on earth evolved from a common ancestor.
